Querying an Inventory

part $1$: A local company would like to be able to search their inventory in an easy manner. They have given you sample data shown in Table $6-7.$

Table $6-7$ Inventory Data

$\backslash$table$[[\backslash$table$[[$Inventory$],[$Number$]],$Description,Manufacturer,List Price,$\backslash$table$[[$Quantity in$],[$Stock$]]],[$AX$1$D$1,$projector,Aldus,$$595\mathrm{.}00,2],[$CD$7$XL$,$coder,Boles,$$195\mathrm{.}00,4],[$R$562$W$,$stylus,Indirection,$$49\mathrm{.}00,14],[$TP$45$L$,$touch pad,Gladstone,$$180\mathrm{.}00,2],[$BC$30$W$,$card reader,Boles,$$199\mathrm{.}00,11],[$MX$550,$scanner$/$fax$,$Menem,$$295\mathrm{.}00,2],[$QR$123,$bar code scanner,Boles,$$375\mathrm{.}00,5]]$

Create the criteria range, the table, and the extract range with formatted headings and data.

Save the worksheet. Perform the following extractions.

a$)$ all inventory items with more than $10$ in stock

b$)$ all inventory items from the manufacturer, Boles

c$)$ all inventory items under $$100$

d$)$ all inventory items with $5$ or less in stock and a list price of less than $$300$
